hehe why you no wan post am for politics.na wetin you specialize in. 


by the way is this not the guy that ran away alongside ogundipe in 66 so as to concede power to a junior officer in gowon?

i will rather be dead than survive this.

Kobojunkie:
People are not complaining at all. That is the problem. These days, people pretend it is not their problem and they go out to work hard so they can send their own kids to private school, ignoring the majority who continue to languish in our public school system. These grow up, have so many illiterate kids and the cycle continues and we wonder why it seems every step forward, seems like we take 5 more backwards. As of last year, we recorded over 8 million children of primary school age not in school. This number has been on the rise for a long time now.

So many are out there rationalizing the situation, rather than calling for more attention to the problem that has been building and building and will probably burst in the near future. You look out there to count how many are actually calling for something to be done about the situation? Not that many. The current minister of education, has in the fashion of those before her, moved to focus on low priority matters rather than tackling the immediate problems which have been high on that list since way back when IBB took over.

maybe she feels the enormity of the problem is just danm too much and therefore decides to focus on low proirity issues just to show that she is doing something( that is if she has any idea of what she is doing anyway)

by the way isn't primary school education under the local government and not state of federal/

Kobojunkie:
At this point, I would suggest individuals/groups take it on themselves to adopt-a-school or help in their way.

It is truly a shame that People do not seem genuinely interested in raising noise about this festering problem. I really wish people would speak up and out more on this issue as it is getting worse by the year, and there seems no end in sight. And this is a problem has affected not just millions who are now parents, and millions of their kids, and the future of the nation as a whole.

probably old boys and girls.

^^^ ibime didthat gif in your profile really happen?

nigerians should stop complaining.the country is dead and buried.just be sharp and enjoy whatever scraps that is remaing on the country.

odein ajumogobia is not igbo.people need to learn about other ethniicities in this country.

hausas and yorubas are majority in terms od ruling nigeria and what a good job they have dine so far.congrats.

Mobinga:
I hope you cats don't turn this cocaine issue to a tribal issue

and you have set the ball rolling with that statement.

MRbrownJAY:
it doesnt! 9ja (or Africa) is just the easy transit point from South America and onward towards Europe/US.
just check the news and you will see how so many are tricked into the trade of being drug mules to Europe/US.

yes i have heard of this before.man but amount of cocaine is something else.

you just have to love naija.

Suspected importer of N1.6bn cocaine arrested
News Jan 29, 2011

By GODWIN ORITSE
A joint team of the Customs and the National Drug Laws Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has arrested one Elihu Essiet, suspected to be the brain behind the Importation of the 165 kilogram of cocaine seized earlier in the week.

The hard drug was intercepted at the Tin-Can Port Island.

The Customs Area Comptroller of the Tin-Can Island Command, Mr Austen Warikoru said that the interception of the drugs was facilitated by intelligence made available to the officials of the NDLEA.

The suspected importer, Warikoru said he was arrested at Agege, Lagos and that the drugs came from South America.

He warned drug barons to steer clear of the Command.

He stated that information came from the Anti-smuggling division of the United Kingdom Border Agency to the Nigeria Customs Service, which in turn alerted the NDLEA.

“The seizure came as a result of intelligence from the Nigeria Customs high Command in collaboration with the United Kingdom Border Agency (Anti-smuggling Division).

“The container was shipped in on board ‘MV/Jasmine which arrived our port in December 2010.

“This is another proof of my officers alertness in the ports and I wish to use this medium to let the world know that we are prepared for the fight against illicit drugs and unwholesome imports.

“The perpetrators are advised to look else where because no matter their antics, our preparedness is not in doubt.

In our collaborative effort, we invited the National Law Enforcement Agency for a joint examination of the container and there after, the 1×20 feet container with No MSCU 128723/1 was handed over to NDLEA by the Customs authorities after preliminary tests and evaluation for further investigation”.

Oladiran:
Aaahh, , im realy fedup with this Jos thing! The hausa-fulanis are dead bent on taking over Jos and Plateau state, the Birom and other Plateau indegines are perpetualy divided and uncooperative! Imagine the hausa-fulanis wanting to come and sell thier meat in Gada-biu, a Christian dominated area! Why? They clearly know that this may start another round of killings[b] yet they want to go by using the soldiers backup![/b]

it is now obvious that the soldiers there are biased towards in favour of the hausa fulanis as demonstrated by the protests on the local women in jos booing them and clashing with them to leave jos.

Abi ojare. no mind them.

If its not threat of secession (from them),then they come here beating their hairy chest about  how they own 90% of another man's land.why?Oh because they are the best thing since sliced bread. they are the only people that the almigty imbibed with strength, business acumen, technical knowhowati bebelo etc etc.However, when their host now shows them the exit door, they start singing like a ph.ocking broken record, "one nigeria". Are these not the same peps running away from their homeland 'cause of kidnappers?

do you still want yorubas to be part of nigeria or not?

My question how does NURTW weild some much influence in OYO politics?these NURTW guys are basically taxi drivers abi?

there is nothing new here.it is a well known fact that coming of oil changed our orientation.i wonder if it can be reversed.

Sometimes your writings are nothing more than pure revisionism.

You mentioned that China and Ireland supported Biafra non-militarily, but quickly followed it up with the bolded, which will be interpreted to mean that Israel supported Biafra militarily.

Even France did not begin "SCANTY" military support until much later in the war. Too late in the day.
There is no way to speak of French support in the same context as British support of Nigeria.

If France and Israel supported Biafra fully, there is for instance no way Cameroon could have blockaded Biafra from the eastern border.

Most discerning folks would feel insulted at emphasis on so called French and Israeli support.
Israeli and Haitian support never went beyond humanitarian support.

If Israel had fought on Biafra's side, Lagos would have been obliterated.

what is the need for the bolded?

Alghazali who spoke with newsmen said that, “against our will, we allowed Obasanjo to contest the presidency in 1999 in order to allow the rotational presidency take root.

[b]“When Obasanjo misruled this country for eight years and it came to our turn and these people turned blind eye and say no.
“If Jonathan is voted in the next presidential election, he will not vacate power; he will remain there and even work against the Nigerian Federation.

“He may even bring about the break up of this country as Sudan is presently going through. So, we will not allow this to happen.
“We cannot go for any other political parties because PDP rules this country whether by hook or crook.

“They control all the machinery. Nobody is going to any general election. There should not be any election because it is going to be a farce.

“We cannot continue like this because for everything there is a beginning and there is an end. This is the end of the fraud in Nigeria.
“The only option now is for them to extend time for the election and go back to the normal primary election system whereby members of political parties are allowed to decide candidates to vote. PDP did not have any primaries at all.

“There may be no Nigeria after this election and I hope it does not take place.”[/b]

Emergence of Jonathan legally, morally wrong – ACF
News Jan 26, 2011
[b]
By Emeka Mamah
KADUNA — The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, said yesterday that the emergence of President Goodluck Jonathan as the PDP presidential candidate is legally and morally wrong, adding that the north must produce the next president.

A communiqué issued after a meeting of the National Working Committee of the ACF and signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Anthony Sani, said: “The emergence of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as its Presidential candidate is legally and morally wrong because it is a violation of that party’s constitution which clearly requires that, under the zoning/rotation formula, a northerner be returned as candidate in the 2011 general election. In this regard, and in the light of its principled stand on fairness and rule of law, the ACF rejects the outcome of the PDP presidential primaries.

“Following an extended review of the just concluded primary elections in the country, the meeting came to the conclusion that the process within most of the major political parties fell short of the expectations of Nigerians as they were thoroughly compromised by an appalling lack of internal democracy within the parties, manipulations, intimidation and other illegalities.

VOTERS REGISTRATION: Reps okay 4 weeks extension
Headlines Jan 26, 2011

By CLIFFORD NDUJIHE, BEN AGANDE, PRINCE OSUAGWU, TORDUE SALEM & INALEGWU SHAIBU
LAGOS—WITH the concurrence of the Senate, the ongoing voters’ compilation exercise, which began on January 15 and initially scheduled to terminate on January 29 would be extended for four weeks.

In essence, Nigerians who are yet to be listed as voters would have the whole of February to do so.

The House of Representatives, which resumed from its five-week recess, yesterday, in its first sitting of 2011, amended Section 9(5) of the Electoral Act, 2010 in a record 25 minutes to grant the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, a window to drag on with the exercise to the end of February.

This came as senators reacted angrily to difficulties being experienced by Nigerians in the on going registration of voters and ordered the INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, to appear before it today to explain the reasons behind the recurring hitches ranging from slow to rejection of finger prints by the Direct Data Capture, DDC, machines; inadequate machines and cases of theft of the machines by goons believed to be working for politicians.

The Senate also ordered the Minister of Education to order the reopening of schools that were closed down nationwide as a result of the registration exercise “as soon as possible.”

even though it is well known that anambra has densely populated villages with some thick bushes in between these villages the location of that registration point is suspect.why not a more open center in near houses or halls?why in the bush/

Andre Uweh:
Tune down, you language here is harsh and I will be extremely upset if you continue like that.
On development plans, I suggested that Asaba should be developed by the governors.
On state creation, the Igbo in Delta state have been demanding for a separate state since 1951.
If I may ask, will you be happy when states are created in future and there is no Anioma state but Ijebu, Ibadan, etc are created?.

andre na wa for u.wetin concern sapeleguy with the bolded?is he from deltan north?
